UNLISTED OFFICINA - T. RIC lists for this type only officina S (p. 389). General note about this issue from p. 348-9: "The bulk of the issue consisted of Genio Populi Romani [...] this large series was a common one. So, too, was Soli Invicto Comiti, in different versions, of which three are primary and often very common: produced from all four officinae [...] The whole issue, in which the four officinae seem to be fairly evenly used throughout, falls late in 312 and early 313".
